I received notice of a survey request and an offer to earn 1,000 bonus points. I completed the survey but did not receive the points. Will it take a while for them to post?

Same here. Did the survey and received no points. However, I regularly do not get points for commenting on blogs etc. (and no, I am not over the limits). So I find the points to be very random and hit-and-miss in terms of how they are awarded. Not sure why this is, but whatever system they are using at AR for points, it is not very good.

Thanks for the responses, everyone. I'm just excited to get my points because I only need about 200 to get in the Top 10 for my state!

Mike Belobradic , do call AR and tell them about it. Another reason you do not get points for your comment: it can not be shorter than 50 characters. Here is a link with some helpful info:

I have done this in the past , and been similarly curious. It usually appears after you forget about it. It will be listed in your points summary as being for the survey, though, and you will be reminded.

Yes, it usually takes a while for them to award points. They ususaly do a few days after the survey closes. I don't know if they've told us the closing date yet.
